The Neuroscience of Parenting and Perinatal Mental Health​

​

This online course is designed for healthcare professionals wanting to gain knowledge on the fascinating changes in the brain during pregnancy and the postpartum period. We explore the science behind 'mommy brain' and challenge the negative narratives surrounding motherhood and mental health. Participants will gain insights into the brain changes associated with perinatal mental illness, as well as the impact of stress and mental load on the parental brain. Finally, we will discuss strategies to protect and enhance brain health, including the roles of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy.
